The Weatherstock Concert Series is a set of concerts put on during the weeks leading up to Weatherstock. New for 2017: These are 30-minute concerts held at Bree Festival Grounds. WCS slots will be given only to bands that apply for the competition.

Playing in the Weatherstock Concert Series *IS* required for the competition. This is an opportunity for bands to showcase their talents for the voters to select them.

Each band will be responsible for checking this site regularly for news and updates. Bandleaders agree to log-in on Landroval weekly to check in-game mail prior to the event.

::: Weatherstock Summit Selection :::

There will be no weighted lottery for summit selection this year. Bands will be selected through a vote of competition Band Leaders and select LMB Officers. Vote results will be published.

New for 2017: There are 16 slots for the summit competition, to be chosen by email vote. Each competition Band Leader and select LMB Officers will vote for their top-5 bands. Band Leaders can vote for their own band.

Band selection for the competition will occur *AFTER* all the Weatherstock Concert Series shows are completed. Only competing bands will play in the WCS.

Please remember: Weatherstock is a friendly competition among peers. Summit winners will be determined at the summit following the show.

One prize will be awarded via an internet vote of all attendees. A second will be awarded via an internal poll of LMB members.

Band Leaders: You agree to compete at the summit on Saturday July 22nd (if selected):Yes

Band Leaders: Are you available to perform a 15-minute set anytime during Weatherstock on Saturday July 22nd (tentatively 12:30pm-4:30pm /servertime EDT)? Slots will be assigned randomly in a public roll, if you are selected.:Yes

Band Leaders: Can you schedule a Weatherstock Concert Series performance on Landroval on either the weekend of July 1st/2nd or the weekend of July 8th/9th? LMB will attempt to schedule all of the WCS shows consectutively in one of those two weekends:Yes

Band Leaders: Select FIVE (or more) possible times for your 30-minute WCS show. PLEASE SELECT AT LEAST FIVE SLOTS ::: 30-minute set will be assigned within these blocks. Hold CTRL and click on the dates to select more than one.:Sun July 2: Noon - 2pm, Sun July 2: 2pm - 4pm, Sun July 9: Noon - 2pm, Sun July 9: 2pm - 4pm

Band Leaders: Please indicate which of the above blocks would work BEST for you for your 30-minute WCS show. Note: LMB will attempt to schedule the WCS into just ONE weekend, so your flexibility is appreciated.:Sunday July 9: 2-4 pm is best. That is the only day and time everyone said they are available. I know you asked us to select 5 but out side of the time period our Belgium band member would be excluded. 2nd option would be Sunday July 2nd 2-4 time frame.

New for 2017: All WCS shows will be held at Bree Festival Grounds Stage.
